Clinical Trial Summary

The ongoing opioid epidemic has altered both how physicians prescribe narcotics and patients' perceptions of those prescriptions. Along with increased scrutiny regarding the quantity of opioids that be may prescribed after acute injury, for chronic conditions and following surgery the healthcare industry as a whole continues to search for alternative medications that provide adequate pain relief and have a reduced tendency for abuse/dependence/addition. To that end this study has the following aims: 1. To evaluate the amount of opioids consumed following minimally invasive, female pelvic surgery when patients' postoperative pain is managed via: 1. Acetaminophen plus Ibuprofen plus breakthrough pain opioids (Standard protocol) 2. Acetaminophen plus Intranasal Ketorolac Tromethamine plus opioids for breakthrough pain (Sprix protocol) 2. Patient satisfaction with the aforementioned methods 3. Evaluate and compare pain scores via validated questionnaire Hypothesis: Primary: 1. Patients prescribed intranasal Ketorolac (Sprix protocol) will consume significantly less Morphine Milliequivalents (mEqs) of narcotics compared to the standard protocol following minimally invasive female pelvic surgery. Secondary: 1. Patients in the Sprix protocol will have lower Visual Analog Scale (VAS) measures of pain which will be measured on a 0-10 scale where 0 denotes no pain and 10 denotes maximum experience of pain 2. Patients in the Sprix protocol will have lower numeric pain score and on POD#4 3. Patients in the Sprix protocol will have higher Quality of Recovery 40 (QoR-40 )scores on POD#1 4. Patients in the Sprix protocol will have higher QoR-40 scores on POD#4 5. Patients will not have any significant difference in overall surgical satisfaction on POD#1 and POD#4 using a numerical satisfaction score 6. Patients in the Sprix protocol will be more likely to consume no narcotics at all once discharged to home

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Morphine mEqs The amount of narcotics consumed postoperatively as measure by Morphine milliequivalents As measured from the day of surgery to 4 days post operative
Secondary Patient Satisfaction Evaluate patient satisfaction using the validated QoR 40 (Quality of Recovery) Scale - wherein a minimum score of 40 indicates that a patient perceives there recovery to be very poor and a maximum score of 200 indicates that the patient perceives that the quality of their recovery is excellent Day of surgery to 4 days postoperative
Secondary Patient's perception of current pain The patient's pain will be subjectively scaled on a 0 (indicating no pain) to 10 (indicating maximum/severe pain) scale. The patient will be asked to scale their pain preoperatively, on postoperative day #1 and on Postoperative day #4 Day of surgery to 4 days postoperatively
